Like wise I got to crew for Crisp P. Bacon balloon. It was phenomenal experience like you said. I hope others have the same opportunity to do it. A real rush to say the least. The drone show was something else also. I understand the joy and excitement you shared in video. You OBVIOUSLY had a great time!!! Safe travels. 😊

How wonderful to relive the Balloon Fiesta! In spite of the crazy weather, it was worth attending. I didn't crew or ride, so those parts of the video are a nice bonus. I definitely came away from the Fiesta with a deep appreciation of the crews and organizers, and the art and science of ballooning. The things the video didn't capture is the controlled chaos of being on the field, the smell of the propane and sound of the balloons, and the excitement and cheering of the crowd. But Liz's excitement shone through! Thanks for a great video.

I was there as well and had an opportunity to Crew and chase down a balloon with the Griggs family, and a balloon named Windrose. They were such kind people to let a complete stranger enjoy this with them. What an amazing experience, and this video captures the essence of it so well. I love the tradition of telling the history of ballooning and the balloonists prayer. Thank you so much for the great content you produce week after week.

Yeah it's cool to attend as a spectator, but those balloons are also quite dangerous. Just last year several people died, and this year several more we're injured. People die or get injured almost every single year during the balloon festival. Two of my own family were even injured in at the same festival one year in two separate balloon crashes back in the 90's when the festival was held in Las Cruces, NM.
@EatSeeRV Жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear that! Yes ballooning is a serious sport. If a flight goes wrong it can lead to injury. Thankfully it's not that common. Doesn't mean it can't happen though.
@bluegizmo1983 Жыл бұрын
@@EatSeeRV Yup definitely. My mom was in one of the balloons that came down in a pecan orchard pretty hard, not sure what the cause of that one was, and then I was in another balloon that had a really hard landing due to the vent rope getting tangled around the fire extinguisher in the basket during decent for landing causing the balloon vent to become stuck in the open position while we were still several hundred feet in the air. The pilot tried to untangle it quickly and when that failed he tried running the burner hard to keep the balloon from falling too quickly but it will still a real hard landing that even caused the balloon to bounce back up about 50+ feet after the first impact. Nobody was seriously injured though, just a little banged up.
